Recent college grads can make a difference through Teach for America!

All kids deserve access to a great education. But too often, low-income children do not have the same access as their wealthier peers. It’s not easy to close this gap, but it’s possible.

What will it take? Committed leaders in our classrooms who will continue to fight for students tomorrow! And, the Teach For America mission is to build the movement to eliminate educational inequity by developing such leaders.

For example, did you know that Teach for America recruits recent college graduates and professionals of all backgrounds to teach for two years in urban and rural public schools? Or that Teach for America trainsand develops these members so that they have an immediate positive impact on their students?

In the 2013-14 school year alone, 11,000 corps members reached more than 750,000 students, while 32,000 alumni continued to deepen their impact as educational leaders and advocates.
